What is a Rapid PCR Test?

PCR stands for a polymerase chain reaction. It is a rapid and accurate test used to detect a certain infectious disease from a specific organism, such as Virus, bacteria, and pathogens (disease-causing organisms). PCR is a laboratory technique that finds the pathogens or abnormal cells in a sample.

There is much information regarding covid-19, and its tests are available on the internet. People are confused owing to a lot of misinformation and rumors. There is some information regarding the Rapid PCR test.

PCR test meaning:

During PCR test, a small amount of genetic material is used from your body as a sample that matches a segment of the Virus’s genetic material, allowing many copies of the materials to be made. This copying process is called amplification. If there are any viruses, bacteria, and pathogens in the sample, amplification will quickly detect that Virus. Therefore, the PCR test means finding the infected diseases, viruses, and bacteria from the body.

How PCR testing works:

Firstly, take a sample of blood, saliva, mucus, and tissue. This sample will contain your DNA. After that, this sample will be put in a particular machine, and an enzyme called polymerase will also be put in it. This is responsible for copying the sample, and this step repeats multiple times. If there are pathogens and Viruses present in the sample, a machine will be indicated.

SARS-CoV-2 Virus is caused for Covid-19, used RNA as its genetic material. The PCR converts RNA into DNA in reverse transcription PCR (RT PCR).

Results: 

A positive result happens when genetic material in the sample matches with the SARS-Cov-2 and creates millions of copies. It means the sample is from an infected person.

A negative result happens when genetic material in the sample does not match with the SARS-Cov-2 and does not create many copies. It means the sample does not carry any virus.

The RT PCR test report will get received within 48 hours.
